The jams and jellies Mongetto are a true delicacy! They are products of first-class quality and completely natural. In fact, they are different from most jams available on the market as they are pectin-free and are prepared only with natural, healthy, and genuine ingredients.

They last in the pantry for 3 years and after opening must be kept cool at a temperature of about 5° C at most for a few days.
 

Quince Jam: a bit of history

The extraordinary Mongetto jam is produced using quince, a variety of apple among the most ancient: it was already cultivated in Asia in 2000 B.C. by the Babylonians, while the Greeks considered it a sacred fruit of Aphrodite, a symbol of good omen and fertility during wedding banquets. In Ancient Rome, it was a well-known fruit, mentioned by notable figures such as Cato, Pliny, and Virgil, some of the most famous writers and orators of the Latin world.
 

Organoleptic properties of quince

The flesh of quinces, compact and firm with a canary yellow color, has a tart and slightly sweet flavor, making fresh consumption somewhat unusual. For this reason, it is very common to find them used to create excellent jams, like the Mongetto jam, as, thanks to cooking, the long chains of glucose characteristic of this fruit break down, giving the quinces a sweeter and more intense flavor, with a smell very similar to honey.

Quinces provide only 26 Kcal per 100g of product, equivalent to 108 Kj. The main sugar is fructose, a monosaccharide with a low glycemic index that helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Quinces are also rich in vitamins, especially A, C, B1, and B2, but also in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium.
